One kick can kill someone.
This is no longer something that can be described as superb martial arts skills, this is completely the level of a top master. Even in the martial arts world, martial arts inheritors rarely have such strength.
If it were an ordinary person, it would be normal, but these killers were all experienced warriors who had seen everything on the battlefield, and getting injured was commonplace.
But he was kicked to death by someone.
The most important thing is that this person is the grandson of the Ming Emperor.
Zhu Yunwen was a little confused, and even Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised.
He knew that his eldest grandson was very skilled in martial arts. After all, Jiang Li had said before that he was far from being a match for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
But being so powerful was indeed beyond Zhu Yuanzhang's expectations.
The assassins and royal guards present were also stunned for a moment.
The two remaining people who rushed over looked at each other, and without any hesitation, they slashed towards Zhu Ying.
They knew very well in their minds that it was impossible for the two men to bypass Zhu Ying and assassinate the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
It happened in the blink of an eye.
If the kick just now was just a deterrent, then the next phenomenon would be the real display of strength.
When the two killers' knives were still in the air, Zhu Ying rushed forward with such a fast speed that he didn't give the two men any chance to react.
He just leaned in close and used the force of his shoulder to knock one of them away.
And at the moment of being knocked away, he snatched the long knife from the man's hand with his backhand, and with the help of the momentum of the knife, he stabbed the other man directly.
This set of movements is smooth and flowing, which is pleasing to the eye, without any pause at all.
In just a few breaths, the two people who rushed over were killed on the spot.
This move frightened the assassins surrounding the four Jinyiwei into a daze.
Even if others don’t know, don’t our own people know it?
The three people who rushed over just now were the most skilled in martial arts among them, but the current situation is that they couldn't even take a single move and were killed one after another.
But even so, the remaining eight people showed no intention of retreating.
Since I came here today, I have never thought about leaving alive.
"The idea is difficult, but we have to work together."
With a loud shout, the eight men worked together to force the four injured Jinyiwei away.
The price paid for this was two serious injuries.
Then the remaining six people rushed towards Zhu Ying with tacit cooperation.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately stepped forward to pick up the fallen sword and support his eldest grandson.
Don't underestimate Zhu Yuanzhang. Even though he is old now, he has never stopped exercising.
Even at my age today, I still cannot live without meat at every meal.
The Ming Dynasty was fought for.
In the early days, Zhu Yuanzhang was not a commander in the army, but he made his name by killing people with his own force.
This earned him the appreciation of Guo Zixing.
There is no evaluation of Zhu Yuanzhang's martial arts in history. After all, except for the initial period, Zhu Yuanzhang basically never did anything on his own.
But you have to know that even people like Chang Yuchun and Xu Da who had practiced martial arts since childhood had to submit to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Is it just because of strategy?
When Zhu Yuanzhang first joined the army, he had no helpers. He relied entirely on his personal bravery to get the position of captain of the nine personal soldiers.
There is only a simple sentence at the end: lead the troops in battle.
What is the concept.
This means that for several years, Zhu Yuanzhang was equivalent to a vanguard soldier, and every battle was fought in the most intense place.
Chang Yuchun was a reckless man who had practiced martial arts since childhood and had known Zhu Yuanzhang since childhood.
But among these friends, Zhu Yuanzhang has always been the big brother.
Why?
It all depends on personal force.
Xu Da was a general who always won victories, and Chang Yuchun was even known as a general with 100,000 men.
Only Zhu Yuanzhang was not well-known, but he was able to firmly suppress all his fellow villagers.
Even though his temples are now gray, Zhu Yuanzhang still has confidence in these thieves.
Not to mention repelling the enemy by one person, but protecting oneself is definitely not a problem.
Strong personal force is the source of Zhu Yuanzhang's confidence and calmness.
"Grandpa, please wait and watch your grandson kill the enemy."
Zhu Ying was sharp-eyed and immediately realized that the old man was going to take the stage himself, so he shouted loudly.
Zhu Ying actually didn't know about the old man's martial arts, but he knew it was definitely not weak.
However, the old man is already so old, and if he still lets him take action, it would seem that his grandson is too useless.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard his eldest grandson's shout, he stopped and said with a smile: "Okay, today we will stay by his side and watch him kill the enemy!"
This hearty laugh immediately put pressure on the killers.
Only then did they realize a problem. His Majesty was not a weak scholar. Before they were born, His Majesty was already a world-renowned ruler.
And your Majesty's background means that everything he has was obtained through fighting for it himself.
Morale dropped once again.
Zhu Ying immediately seized the opportunity. The moment one of the men was distracted and looked at the old man, he chopped him down with the big knife in his hand.
"careful!"
At the shout of his companion, the man reacted quickly and raised his knife to block.
Seeing this, Zhu Ying did not hesitate at all and continued to strike down with the sword.
Only a crisp sound was heard, and the killer's sword in the air was cut off by Zhu Ying.
The force did not decrease after the knife broke, and it directly slashed his neck.
Blood splattered, the killer covered his neck, blood kept gushing out from his palms, and his body fell to the ground limply.
"kill!"
Another person died tragically on the spot, and the remaining killers shouted and hacked at Zhu Ying together.
It is said that two fists cannot beat four hands. When the warriors charged in, the method was obvious, which was obviously a combined attack technique in the army.
Zhu Ying just sneered without any fear.
This is not flat ground, but inside the house.
If it were on the plain, it would be a bit troublesome.
He immediately grabbed a chair nearby and threw it towards the warrior.
The two men swung their swords and chopped the chair in the air, but because of the pause, it suddenly became scattered.
Zhu Ying seized the opportunity and immediately slashed at the man next to him with a knife.
When the killer saw Zhu Ying's powerful strength, he didn't dare to resist and immediately took a half step back to avoid it.
However, Zhu Ying's real target was not him.
The moment he stepped back, the blade turned, and his left foot, which was originally raised forward, kicked back, and his body took a big step forward, chopping towards the other person beside him.
This set of actions took only a blink of an eye. The man was completely unprepared and was still charging forward. It seemed that his right shoulder just hit Zhu Ying's knife.
After Zhu Ying swung the knife, he pulled it back, just avoiding the third person. The knife went straight down from the second killer's right shoulder, and the tip of the knife entered his abdomen. The powerful force cut half of his stomach open.
This was the first killer who was not killed directly, but with just one blow, he was completely disabled and lost all his fighting power.
In today's world, this kind of injury is no different from waiting to die.
After this set, only three of the five were left.
The two people who were responsible for resisting the Jinyiwei were killed by the four Jinyiwei.
The situation was reversed in an instant. Now it was six people against three. With Zhu Ying being a ruthless man whose every blow was deadly, the killers no longer had any chance of turning the tables.
Just when the remaining three people were determined to fight to the death and were planning to launch another attack, a series of noises came from the stairwell.
They all looked and saw that it was the killer below who rushed up.
Although the leader was wearing black clothes, the armor of the Ming army was revealed under the tattered black clothes.
This is the armor that only generals in the army are qualified to wear.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the person coming, his originally calm expression suddenly turned gloomy: "Hou Zijian, I didn't expect that it was you, a traitor, who would do such a treasonous thing."
Hou Zijian's face was not covered with a black cloth like the killer just now.
However, judging from the condition of his body, the black cloth covering his face must have accidentally fallen off during the battle below.
What Hou Zijian didn't expect was that although he was just a small captain, Zhu Yuanzhang actually remembered him and called out his name right away.
The moment he heard the shout, Hou Zijian was a little distracted, but he was immediately called back by the shouting and screaming coming from downstairs.
Without any hesitation, he shouted, "Zhu Yuanzhang, you must die today. I will avenge Jiang Xiahou today."
Phew!
Just as he finished speaking, there was a flash of light and a big knife stabbed directly into Hou Zijian's chest like a hidden weapon.
At this moment, Hou Zijian was still holding a long sword high, leading his men, preparing to charge at Zhu Yuanzhang, but he was suddenly stabbed.
The long knife pierced half of his chest, and it was obvious that he was dead.
This was something that no one present had expected.
A captain of the Ming Dynasty who came to assassinate the emperor had fought in many battles, but he was killed in one blow before he could even display his fighting power.
The one who used the knife as a hidden weapon was naturally Zhu Ying.
This side of the stairs inside the house is far away from the windows. It is cloudy today and the light is not very good. The key point is that no one expected that Zhu Ying would do this.
At this moment, the soldiers who followed Qianhu Hou Zijian to assassinate were suddenly at a loss.
"kill!"
Hou Zijian had not yet fallen down. Knowing that he was about to die, he exerted his last bit of strength and roared, and actually forced himself to bear the long knife that was piercing his chest, and charged towards Zhu Yuanzhang.
The brothers who were following him immediately followed with a sad look on their faces.
After only taking a few steps, Hou Zijian fell to the ground with a bang, but the brothers who followed him did not stop and continued to rush towards Zhu Yuanzhang.
However, the room is small, especially the corridor coming from the stairs, which can only accommodate three people.
Two Jinyiwei took the lead, and the people behind could only watch.
Behind the stairs, there was another noise.
Jiang Li has already brought his men to attack.
Jiang Lin's personal martial arts skills were naturally extremely high, otherwise he would not be qualified to serve as Zhu Yuanzhang's personal bodyguard.
He raised his sword and chopped his way forward.
Compared to the killer who had sneaked in from the second-floor window before, these people's martial arts were obviously much weaker.
Not only was he blocked by two Jinyiwei, but the people behind him were also constantly killed by Jiang Li.
At this point, the situation was settled.
There were still three killers in the lobby on the other side of the window, but at this moment they also understood that it was no longer possible to kill Zhu Yuanzhang.
After looking at each other, they no longer had the intention to charge and just slashed their own necks with the knife.
One of them killed his companion who had just arrived with a knife before committing suicide.
The people brought by Hou Zijian were killed one after another in a very short time.
Only three were captured.
"Kill him."
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and gave an order, indicating that he had no intention of leaving anyone alive.
Although he was somewhat confused about the emperor's decree, Jiang Li did not hesitate to act. He raised his sword and slashed, killing the three men.
"I am late in coming to your rescue, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
After carrying out His Majesty's order, Jiang Li immediately knelt on one knee and said.
All the Jinyiwei also knelt down.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say much, and said, "Return to the palace."
"I obey your order."
…
The assassination ended just like that.
However, this storm has obviously just begun.
If someone dares to assassinate the emperor, the subsequent development will definitely not be a simple past, and it also means that more people will be implicated.
On this point, even Zhu Ying would not offer any kind of persuasion.
On the way back, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Ying, and Zhu Yunwen rode in the same carriage.
At this time, Zhu Yunhuan and Zhu Mingyue didn't even know what was happening here and were happily shopping.
At this moment, Zhu Yunwen was as quiet as a good baby.
Only then did he realize where he had lost.
The eldest brother seems gentle on weekdays, but in fact, he is a kind of person just like the emperor grandfather.
Zhu Yunwen, who had never killed anyone since he was a child, finally witnessed a real life-and-death fight today, and he was a little more afraid of his elder brother.
My brother is so scary.
The scene of Zhu Ying killing several people in the house just now still kept appearing in Zhu Yunwen's mind.
That kind of quick and efficient method of killing was something Zhu Yunwen had never seen since he grew up in the deep palace.
In fact, if Zhu Yunwen had not been trained by Zhu Ying before, he would have lost some of his weak scholar temperament and had more real masculinity. I'm afraid he would have wet his pants out of fear.
An ordinary scholar would be so frightened by the scene of blood splattering that he would hide in a corner and tremble in fear. Let alone Zhu Yunwen today, who actually stood in front of the emperor when the assassin was about to assassinate him.
After Zhu Yuanzhang got on the car, he did not directly talk about the assassination, but instead comforted Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunwen repeatedly said that he was fine.
"Yunwen's performance today really impressed me. Your eldest brother said that he was going to Champa, and I was a little bit against it at first. But now it seems that he is really going, and you didn't bring shame to our Zhu family." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.
Zhu Yunwen quickly replied, "Thank you, Grandfather Emperor, for your compliment."
After talking about Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at his eldest grandson.
The eldest grandson's performance today was not just what was expected; it was completely beyond Zhu Yuanzhang's expectations.
He then asked, "Grandson, do you know why we wanted to silence those three people?"
